Fri, 14 Jun 2013 00:08:00 +0000http://www.roundballminingcompany.com/?p=6537#comment-407082in a league where close to half the teams make the playoffs, the Nuggets were the very definition of mediocrity, losing in first round 8 out of 9 seasons. We can definitely tank next year; just trade away some veterans for more picks / expiring contracts and play the young guys. (e.g. trade andre miller and play fournier).

Mon, 10 Jun 2013 02:34:00 +0000http://www.roundballminingcompany.com/?p=6537#comment-406978Everyone on here talking about how the Nuggets will tank or should tank to get stars. Are you kidding me?!?! I mean, seriously. You are the kind of fans that validate all the fears of the pro-Karl people. The Nuggets have a deep roster, sure we don’t have a superstar that can absolutely dominate the game, but we had 5-6 players that could score 20 points on any given night. We had a deeper rotation with more talent than most teams.

Ty Lawson: With a few years and continued development, he could be that superstar. He’s an offensive beast of a player. He can shoot from down town, orchastrate a run and gun offense, and can finish tremendously. Sure, he’s not a stellar player on defense but in the right system he could play defense a little bit better. He’s our leader, and a damn fine player.

Gallo: A developing two way player. Can play some pretty good perimeter defense and is a shooter and slasher.

Chandler: Can be a slasher with an outside shot. I like him, I think he’s underrated.

Faried: High energy rebounder that is developing some offense and defensive game.

Iggy: Obviously a tremendous defensive player and leader. Can shoot and score, but it’s a high volume scorer.

Plus we had great bench assets, so stop with the tanking every year thing. Karl doesn’t make a lottery team into a 3rd seed in a year. No way this team is in a lottery, not even a shot.

Promote our assistant GM and get Shaw, Hollins, Joerger, or Van Gundy. There are tons of coaches that would complement our roster and improve our team. So stop with the tanking shit, if you’re okay tanking then that is not okay. Sure, maybe falling back to a 5-6-7 seed, maybe… top five lottery pick. No.

Also, I said I wouldn’t take a PG in this draft because there are no good point guards in this draft.

Aside from Burke, all of the “top PG’s” are undersized 2 guards trying to convince NBA teams that they can transition to point.

Sun, 09 Jun 2013 18:36:00 +0000http://www.roundballminingcompany.com/?p=6537#comment-406976Shaq did equal failure for Orlando. How many titles has Orlando got? What they picked up 2 hall of fame Centers and still got nothing? I don’t believe that’s possible. End sarcasm.

I’m not saying it’s impossible to pick up talent in the lottery. I’m saying it’s a lie that it’s a reasonable way to build a championship team. You need more than a Shaq or a Lebron or a Dwight or a Durant.

None of those guys have won anything with the teams that drafted them, because it takes more than 1 guy. But if you are in the lottery it’s because you don’t know how to evaluate talent. So you get really, really lucky, draft your mortal lock for the hall of fame, surround him with crap cuz you can’t find talent outside of the number 1 pick and he walks, because you can’t get him any help.

That’s the history of the nba.

Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:02:00 +0000http://www.roundballminingcompany.com/?p=6537#comment-406974his “always switch” policy on defending the pick and roll didn’t help either…even middle school teams do a better job addressing one of the most common plays in basketball

Sun, 09 Jun 2013 11:33:00 +0000http://www.roundballminingcompany.com/?p=6537#comment-406973These numbers have zero relevance. Orlando won the lottery in 1992 and took Shaq. He is no longer on the team. That was one trip to the lottery.

Therefore according to the implied logic of your figures, Shaq= Failure

Sun, 09 Jun 2013 09:01:00 +0000http://www.roundballminingcompany.com/?p=6537#comment-406971So whose excited for 30+ minutes of JaVale next year? Atleast Nuggets matches will get better ratings. Like one those reality, which is soo bad it’s funny to watch.

TNT, might give Shaq his own show since he’s gonna have so much material to work with.
